Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Reviews

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing a brand that has been around since ages, it was the very first face wash for most of us, ‘Clean & Clear’. Also the first to have come in a small bottle packaging which then became its trademark.

Today, it has launched so many different variants of face washes and also scrubs and moisturizers. One such range is the ‘Morning Energy’. I had read a lot about it and also seen them, but never really tried them untill now.

I am so glad I did! They come in their trademark bottle packaging and different variants and sizes.

Variants:

  • Brightening Berry (brighten dull skin)
  • Energizing Lemon (energize tired looking skin)
  • Purifying Apple (purify oily skin)

What it claims:  Morning energy Face washes are specifically designed to wake up your dull looking skin in the morning.

Benefits of the product
The gentle face wash contains natural extracts of Strawberry, Lemon or Apple and its unique formula is enriched with soft BURSTING BEADS® that gently burst with an energizing fragrance on your skin and let you experience a new wave of freshness every morning.

Recommended for
Those who want to freshen and energise their tired skin.

How it works
This gentle face wash works like a charm to transform your dull skin. If you’re looking for a burst of morning energy at any time of the day, look no further!

The rich foam thoroughly removes oil and dirt. Its special ingredients help prevent common skin problems, without drying out your skin. The natural berry extract leaves your skin looking fresh and glowing.

Directions:
Apply a small amount on wet palm and work into rich lather. Gently massage onto face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use it twice daily for skin that’s beautifully clean and clear! Follow with the CLEAN & CLEAR® OIL FREE MOISTURISER for best results.

Ingredients of Berry:
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Acrylates Copolymer, Propylene Glycol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polyethylene, Petrolatum, Red 30 Lake, Fragrance, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Ferric Ferrocyanide, CI 16035, Cl 42090

Brightening Berry Ingredients
Energizing Lemon Ingredients
Purifying Apple Ingredients

Lemon has Lemon Fruit & Passionflower extracts, Apple has kiwi, orange, grapefruit & apple extracts.

MRP: Rs.110/- for 100ml

I love the transparent bottle packaging, it lets you see the exact quantity plus the colorful beads that can be seen through the bottle look really nice. It has a flip cap and you can control the exact quantity you need per wash. Also the small tiny bottles that come in smaller size are perfect for your handbag or travel.

Lemon has golden yellow and white beads, Berry has pink and white beads and Apple has green beads in it.

Clean & Clear has come up with this beautiful #seetherealme campaign with this Morning Energy range which basically tells the teenage girls to show the world their real self and not be judged by looks, shape, size, colour, clothes, etc. I think it is a fabulous initiative coz the teens is when we are most conscious of the way we look and what people comment, etc. and it is very important for us to stay confident through that age.

Coming to the face wash again, it has small tiny beads which don’t melt, they just wash off and exfoliate a bit gently. I like gel based face washes, they are easy to use and wash off. It foams well, smells amazing, and is actually great to lift your sleepy head in the mornings!

It won’t remove your waterproof makeup, etc. but it is not even meant for that. It is a basic, regular face wash that refreshes you and removes oil and dirt. It is targeted towards the college girls and works perfect for them.

I love the Brightening Berry, smells so yumm! These are affordable, easy to carry and come in a range of sizes and variants. Absolutely recommend this to the college going girls, the smallest bottle is perfect for your handbag.

Hi guys,

Garnier White Complete Fairness Face Wash & Cream Review: #7DayGarnierChallenge

Hi guys,

So I took up the #7DayGarnierChallenge last week where I had to use the Garnier White Complete Fairness Face Wash and the Garnier Multi Action Fairness Cream for 7 days and see the results.

I finished my 7 days yesterday and here is my review.

About the face wash: Exposure to sun, pollution and harsh environmental conditions makes skin appear dull & dark.

Garnier White Complete Fairness Face wash is an effective daily face wash that helps you discover clear, radiant, and even complexion.
You get one tone fairer in one wash!

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.140/- for 100g

About the cream: Get 3 tones fairer skin, in just 7 days

Enriched with natural ingredients, this formula provides instant whitening and long lasting fairness. Your skin looks even, feels fresh and moisturized with a natural glow.

Multi Action fairness cream for glowing skin :
1.Instant Whitening – provides instant whitening
2.Sun Protection with SPF 19 PA+++ – Protects skin from further darkening by harmful UVA and UVB sun rays
3.Long Lasting Fairness – Fairer skin over time with regular usage

Dermatologically tested – suitable for all skin types.

MRP: Rs.160/- for 40g

Ingredients:

I don’t generally review skin care before testing it for a minimum of 21-25 days but since this was a specific challenge for 7 days, I am doing it after exact 7 days.

I have used the previous Garnier Multi Action Fairness Cream and did not like that much, this new formula is quite better in terms of smell and texture and does not give that much of a whitish cast as the old formula did. The old formula used to just sit on the skin and not get absorbed, this is much better and does get absorbed into the skin. This provides SPF19 PA+++ protection too.

It comes in a small jar that is easy to carry and convenient to use. It is a white colored cream, not very thick but normal cream form. It is not very sticky or greasy and gets absorbed instantly. It does not hydrate much, girls with dry skin might need a richer moisturizer especially in winters. I think this will work better for oily to combination skin.

It comes with a shade card at the side of the carton and it did not give me 3 tones fairer skin obviously, but I did see brighter, matte skin and was a tone lighter which I guess was my tan that has now thankfully gone away coz of this combination.

Coming to the face wash, I love it. It is a white colored cream face wash which foams a lot. It removes all the dirt, basic makeup and gives refreshed, brighter skin. It foams really well, does not leave a slimy feeling behind and the skin feels super clean and translucent.

It is quite affordable and comes in smaller packs too, both the face wash and the cream.

L-R: Cream & Face Wash

I would say the combination of the face wash and cream definitely made my skin brighter and helped me get rid of the tan in just 7 continuous days and made it a shade it was originally. Both the cream and the face wash have lemon essence, which is the main ingredient that helps get rid of tan and brightens and tones the skin.

I challenge you all to use the Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream for just 7 days and let me know what you feel about it, either here in the comments below or anywhere on my social media tagging me with the #7DayGarnierChallenge.

Get your free sample here http://7daygarnierchallenge.com/, fill in your details and my name at the end and after 7 days, you can share your experience. One of you whose answer we like wins a surprise Garnier hamper!

March MSM Express Box Review

Beauty Box, Biotique, Body Lotion, Face Wash, Just Herbs, Kohl, Kronokare, Makeup, MSM Box, Reviews, Skin care, Sunscreens, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

March MSM Express Box Review

About MSMBox (My Style Mile Box):  MSMbox.com was finally launched in Oct 2014.

Simply put, MSMbox.com is a discovery e-commerce platform that offers consumers the opportunity to buy, try and enjoy beauty brands in the market.

For a nominal subscription of either Rs 495/- for the MSM Express Box or Rs 995/- for the MSM Select Box, every month, you get a surprise goodie box containing beauty, grooming and lifestyle products from new and established beauty brands, and then some!

Our motto – ‘a lot in a little’- sets us apart from any other beauty box currently in the market.

For starters, the box contains full size products along with carefully curated samples. Besides that, to really delight the consumer, we don’t just take care of your beauty and grooming needs. We go the extra mile and offer something more through our collaborations and associations with leading salons/spas, cafe’s and shopping.

Msmbox.com brings it all together, on an exciting online platform of rich content on trends, updates on the beauty world, and weekly blogs from our in-house team, and of course feedback and participation from our consumers.

So there are basically two options in MSM Box, ‘Express’ for all normal drugstore brands and ‘Select’ for premium brands like The Body Shop,Soap and Glory,Innisfree,etc.. Also both boxes every month include 1-2 surprise goodies/samples from new brands that are just IN, in the market.

Express box is pink in colour while the Select box is mango yellow in colour

I got MSM Express Box which retails at Rs.495/-. Even though its a March box, I somehow couldn’t review it then, sorry for the delay. It looks like a small compact box but is very very heavy with a lot of stuff inside.

Let’s unravel the mystery of what’s inside the box..

I received 5 products, 2 from Kronokare, 2 from Biotique and 1 from Just Herbs.

Kronokare Provencial Lavender Glycerine Soap

Kronokare Provencial Lavender Body Lotion (Deluxe Sample)

Biotique Bio AloeVera SPF30+ Suncreen

Biotique Bio Kajal

Just Herbs SilkSplash Neem-Bitter Orange Rehydrant Face Wash

Except the Body Lotion, I got rest 4 full sized samples which is quite a good deal for a box priced at Rs.495/-! But I would have liked all 5 different brands rather than 2 products from the same brand. Also I have tried Kronokare before and I am not really a fan of the Body Lotion, its not moisturizing enough.

Looking forward to try the Biotique and Just Herbs products.

Overall I would say, price wise, it is one of the best subscription box out there which actually offers a good value for money. I only hope they can maintain the price and number of products offered in the same way in future too. I would love to try the ‘Select’ Box next.

Have you tried the MSM Box yet?

ZA True White Cleansing Foam, Toner, Night Cream Review

Hey guys,

I had reviewed my favourite moisturizer these days HERE. i.e ZA True White Day Protector. I have been trying the cleansing foam, toner and night cream from the same range since quite some time and would be reviewing those today.

About the ZA range by Shiseido : ZA (pronounced as zi:ei) True White features three best whitening ingredients –Revolutionary 4MSK Formula penetrates deep within the skin to diminish the formation of excessive melanin, reduce blemishes & dark spots that are visible on the surface giving an even-toned radiance.

Vitamin C Complex with a potent combination of APM (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) and VC-IP (Tetrahexydecyl Ascorbate) lightens the deep rooted melanin pigments to restore skin’s translucence.

The range is enriched with exclusive SPA ingredients like Natural Spring Water from the foothills of Mount Cazzaro in Tuscany, Italy, Trehalose and White Lily extract to give unparalleled moisture to the skin. Its Prism Enhancer System removes unwanted dead corneal cells and allows for maximum diffusion of light on the skin’s surface making it radiant with brightness.

ZA True White Cleansing Foam

What the Company claims: A whitening cleansing foam that provides essential care for moisturized translucent skin.

How to: Squeeze a small amount onto palm and work into a lather using cool or lukewarm water. Gently massage over face in circular motion. Rinse thoroughly.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.349/- for 100g (Available for Rs.339/- HERE)

It comes with a flip cap packaging. It is the creamiest face wash I have ever seen or used, like literal cream! It has small brown granules which help in light exfoliation and not harsh. It cleanses well and even removes your basic makeup.

Only issue being, I find it slightly drying, though thats the case with most cream based face washes. I generally like gel based ones for the same reason. But still it was the least drying and the most creamy cream based face wash. I would not recommend it for dry skin, unless you are used to cream based face washes. But would work great with oily combination skin, with some moisturizer above it, of course.

Rating: 3.75/5

ZA True White Toner

What the Company claims: A whitening toner for moisturized translucent skin.

How to: Smooth an appropriate amount over face with hand or cotton pad after cleansing.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.699/- for 150ml

Its a runny watery liquid, has a soft floral smell and does not dry out the skin even though it has alcohol.

I am not much of a toner person. I know people always recommend the CTM routine, but I am more into facial mists. Toner is not really my thing. Though it helps in cleaning and tightening pores,etc. I have not seen any major difference with/without toners on my skin. Or may be I am never regular enough with toners.

I definitely prefer alcohol free toners, as alcohol totally rips the moisture from the skin. There are not many options in India as far as good alcohol free toners are concerned. If you are into the CTM routine and tone regularly and are ok with toners having alcohol, do give this a try. I did not see too much of a difference though. Might work more for people with oily skin.

Rating: 3/5

ZA True White Night Cream

What the Company claims: This whitening Night Cream works hard while you are fast asleep. Gives high Whitening effect by diminishing melanisation, dark sports, blemish marks and patchiness to reveal translucent, clear skin; and Moisturizing effect by removing excess surface cells, while deeply hydrating skin from inside-out.

How to use: Smooth an appropriate amount over face with fingers after toner. Apply several dots on the face and spread evenly from the centre of the face outwards.

MRP: Rs.999/- for 40g

It comes in jar packaging like the ZA True White Day Cream. It has a gel like texture and is water based. It gets completely absorbed into the skin and there is no greasiness with this.

You don’t even need too much product, but just a pea sized amount. This will best suit people with oily skin. If you have dry skin and prefer light creams, then you will like it. But if you love heavy rich creams at night, this won’t be enough in terms of moisturization. I like water based creams especially in summers. Though at times I prefer richer ones when I feel my skin looks dry and needs hydration and moisture.

I did not find it deeply hydrating as claimed but it did help in healing a few acne spots faster. Worth a try.

Rating: 3.5/5

My favourite from the ZA Range is still the True White Day Protector, followed by the Cleansing Foam, Night Cream and Toner.

Have you tried the ZA skincare range ? If yes, what is your favourite ? If no, what would you like to try first ?

Garnier Pure Active Deep Pore Unclogging Face Wash Review

Garnier Pure Active Deep Pore Unclogging Face Wash Review

By Raunak

Garnier Pure Active is a breakthrough formula which has the unique association of two powerful actives – Salicylic acid with powerful anti-bacterial properties, and Herbal repair with natural repairing and regenerating properties. Clinically tested on acne prone skin, it’s maximum strength formula works immediately on imperfections and delivers visible results from day one.

Its Secret? An unprecedented association in the formula which fights imperfections and their marks: • Concentrated Salicyclic acid is one of the most efficient exfoliant actives. • .The proven power of plants: HERBAREPAIR is natural active extracted from VacciniumMyrtillus with exceptional regenerating and skin-repairing properties

Ingredients:

Directions:

MRP: Rs.79/- for 50g

My take:

So after using the product for a while, winters and summers ( hence the time taken for the review),I just wanted to test the credibility of the all product when it comes to using this for oily skin. Because we all know oily and acne prone skin becomes a mess in summers.

Garnier Pure Active Pore Unclogging Wash is a pale blue face wash with liquid like consistency. It lathers easily and washes without leaving any residue. It has got a minty smell and it gives a cool, refreshed, cleansed skin hence I feel its a perfect facewash for the summers. However, I wish that the cool feeling lasted longer.

What the product is good at:

• It smells fresh and minty, which totally freshens me up after a hot day outside.

• The skin is left squeaky clean after using this.

• It’s not drying so will suit dry skin.

• The price is quite reasonable.

• It leaves skin feeling so minty kind of cool (cos of menthol). It’s simply wow.

It does help me avoid new acne but the marks do not go away. And also it is not like it prevents acne completely I still got my once in a while acne. Yes I did. While I can say that I am a fan of their scrub from this range. This one is a miss. The scrub is a HIT.

So after six months of using the scrub and wash religiously, It is a conclusion that the scrub is worth a try for oily-normal skin. But the wash can be given a miss for oily skin type. Can be used for normal skin type.

Thanks again bhumi for sending the products. Hope you all get some insight about these two products after reading my through, lengthy and time consuming ( months….errrr) review.

Join Garnier Men India In The Nationwide Movement to #SayNoToBars and #SayYesToOilClear

Men will be men! No matter what the situation, this statement will always hold true for them.

Take a minute to think this through…
How many men have you seen who pay attention to grooming? Well, we know your answer – barely any, right! That’s true for most men. As the brand that cares about men and their grooming, Garnier Men India is out on a mission to change this.

Don’t you think its gross to use the same soap you use ‘everywhere’ on your body, on your face too ?! And, the skin on your face is definitely thinner and more delicate than the rest of the body. Plus, also more exposed to the sun and pollution. We, (including men) should take extra care of our facial skin. But, men do not understand this basic, simple thing, as if its some deep science ! #StupidThingsMenDo, I tell ya.

I really like this #SayNoToBars campaign and if guys get convinced to ditch those soap bars and try a face wash, it would be really cool and effective. Whenever I see a guy carrying a facewash, I love it. It is also one of the way of showing yes,we too care about ourselves and our skin and do not ignore it !

We believe, behind every successful man there is a woman – who helps him with what to wear and what to do. So, what could be a better way to make men change their attitude towards grooming than get the women to lead this initiative with us?

This is why, Garnier Men, in this Nationwide Movement ask men to Say No To Bars. Yes, they mean – Say No To ‘Soap’ Bars. Wondering why? Here you go –

1. Soap bars are unhygienic as the same bar is used for multiple purposes. Instead, why not switch to a face wash which is for a defined purpose?

2. Soap bars are history now! Modern men prefer to use face wash that is customised to suit their skin’s needs. So, why not be the man of today who loves modern facilities?

3. Soap bars are inconvenient and not practical to use at all. Then, why not be smart and switch to a face wash which is easy to carry?

Keeping these advantages of face wash in mind, they ask men to take a pledge against the use of soap bars. They instead recommend men to use the Garnier Men Oil Clear Face Wash for a deep cleansing action which removes excess oil without drying your skin while ensuring a day-long oil-free feel. If you are a guy, take the pledge NOW! HERE http://saynotobars.thegarnierman.com

And if you are a girl, make sure you get your guy to use a face wash and make him pledge against soap bars ! No More Bars !!

To make sure, they get the message clearly, here’s a fun song which tells you why it’s time to #SayNoToBars and #SayYesToOilClear 

So go ahead, bring a change in the men you care about!

Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

What the Company claims: A Paraben free formula which cleanses, scrubs, and provides whitening to your skin. The active used in this face wash is pure Ribose, a natural pentose obtained by biotechnology from corn seed sugars. It restores energy to the skin for a global anti-aging action. It has irregular-shaped granules which are soft enough to prevent scratches on the skin.

Direction for Use: Pour into palm and apply to thoroughly wet face. Work up lather. Rinse thoroughly.

MRP: Rs.395/- for 100ml

Key Ingredients:

It comes in a olive green colored tube packaging with a flip cap opening..it does’nt shut tight..but I have carried it during my travel and it did not spill or anything.

Its a light tinted blue gel like formula with soft blue minute granules..it foams decent. (not as much as the foaming cream face wash..I don’t like those anyways). The granules as claimed are super soft and not at all scratchy or abrasive.

It has a mix of ayurvedic cum bubblegum smell..kinda different..but not bothering as such. My skin feels super refreshed,soft and smooth after using this. Even though it has scrubbing granules, I do use it daily but not twice, just once a day. And there has’nt been any issues as such with it. The other time I use my trusted HG face wash Himalaya Neem.

It also helped me reduce my tan to a great extent..I am going to continue using it. I love how my skin feels with it..plus its paraben free and made of natural ingredients..so all the more good. Skin did not crave moisture after using this..but felt just right. Dry skin might need a moisturiser.

I only felt that it being a paraben free and natural brand, why only key ingredients are mentioned. This policy is only allowed in India which some brands are taking advantage of.

Pros:

1. Cleanses and scrubs as claimed..not sure of whitening, but helped with reducing the tan to a great extent.

2. Granules are very mild and soft and suitable for use everyday.

3. Paraben free and made of natural ingredients.

4. Skin feels super refreshed and soft after using this.

5. Right amount of moisture..skin does not feel dry with it.

Cons:

1. Slightly expensive..but I am using it from a long time and still a lot is left I guess..you don’t need much.

2. Availability is an issue..only available online right now.

3. Only key ingredients mentioned.

Overall, I would say, its one of the best face washes I have tried in a very long time..my skin feels amazing after using this. I cannot describe it in words but I am surely loving it..this one is a must have !! Highly recommended.

Rating:

Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes!

I received this super cute diary..with all Bollywood caricature and a pen drive with this Garnier Pure Active Neem Face Wash..you must have seen this on my Insta (by the way, if you are still not following me, its @newlovemakeup)

It comes in a white and green tube packaging with a flip cap..it also has a seal inside..its light green in color with a transparent hue and has a runny consistency..and also has a neem smell.. Himalaya Neem face wash is my HG..so I am used to the smell and don’t mind it.

It foams well..and cleanses the skin thoroughly..skin feels refreshed..but also its a little drying on my cheek area (since I have combination skin) and need a moisturiser after using this. I guess this is perfect for oily skin..as it does control oil…and has tea tree oil which is good for acne..

Since I do not have any breakout right now (touchwood), I am not sure how fast it is in healing acne or if it helps with that..but it definitely did not break me out and kept acne at bay.

Pros:

1. Neem and tea tree oil, two active ingredients of this, are very good for healing acne.
2. Cleanses skin well.
3. Skin feels refreshed.
4. Controls oil.
5. Perfect for oily skin.
6. Economical than other tea tree face wash in the market.
7. Easily available.

Cons:

1. Dry skin would find it very drying…you surely need a moisturiser after this.

Overall I would say its perfect for oily skin..and controls oil and cleanses well..comes in various sizes..and one of the economical tea tree face wash in the market.
